New to the forum

Hi guys,
I'm new to the cigar forum and wanted to say hi. My name is GrouchoM and I'm from Texas. I've been smoking cigars for 3 mths and have a small tupidor of sticks. As a new cigar smoker, I'm still figuring out what I like palate-wise. I started wit Factory throwouts because they were inexpensive and have worked up recently to C&C toro maduro (which have a lot of flavor). I'm an unemployed student who was introduce to cigars by a buddy, but only got serious recently after having one on New Year. The brands I've smoked so far are nothing to write home about: Brioso, Bacarract, Sancho Panza, National, Cuban Seed, Casa de Bella and Punch.
Look forward to learning more about cigars and meeting more cigar lovers.

Welcome, Groucho!
At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
I liked the size (a churchill I think) and that as a Connecticut it was a uncomplicated smoke (but very interested in maduros now). I had 3 glasses of JWB. Enjoyed the calmness, time to myself looking up at the stars (80% of my smoking done at night outside, w 50% having a adult beverage). I enjoyed the thick smoke plumes and the long filler not causing it to be a quick smoke. I enjoyed it paired ok w alcohol. I also enjoyed the price ($1.49 @ my B&M). The smell was uncomplicated and the flavors while nothing to write home about was good for a newbie palate. Can't say much else since it was just three mths ago, but I hope I answered your question.
Happy to be aboard.
Youre the 2nd & 3rd persons to mentioned the cooler thing. Someone sent my buddy a photo of a cooler that he picked up at Target on sale. My buddy replied all "I see is an empty cooler". Puzzled, he said I should look into it, but never explained. I'm confused since I'm rocking a sandwich sized tupidor currently. What gives? Am I missing the joke or something?

If you're married, CAS stands for Can't Admit to the Spouse - how many sticks you have.
Got it, ha ha! I smoke about every other day, even with $2 and under smokes (no budget for $4 and under or $4 and above so far).
Not married, but understood. Say, can you possibly show me an example of what you mean? It appears the mob has gently requested I ask.
